Before

Real Life Fairytale




'Life was hard," my father used to say

And we'd settle in our chairs

To repeat word for word

That same tale



His brows would furrow

His arms, hanging in mid air

Waiting for his words to weave

That well worn spell



We'd nod sympathetically

And gasp in all the right places

As that familiar scene played

Of an age long gone



When children waded creeks

In tattered shoes

When mothers clambered over

Week old news

Penned by their absent lovers

On precious papers

'It was a lean year', we'd nod

They were lean years



‘At times, we were so tired

So wearied’

His voice would fade accordingly

And within his eyes

We'd see the end of the story

As a glimmer of fire

Embers, chokes and dies

His arms now resting

Placated on his seat

While the ashes of his world melt away



We watched has he shrugged his years back on

As though time himself had wearied and slowed

Too wizened to attempt following

What had been new a minute ago





We'd sit for awhile more

Perfectly still,

Lest we speed the dissipating film

Grasping vainly for tendrils of smoke

That rose from ourselves

As they curled up to the ceiling and faded



In perfect cue my mother would shout

The time, followed by a jolt

That catapulted us off to bed

Where we would dream of snowy fields

Golden wheat and winter chills

Grass eating stoves on old stone mills

Our wispy sighs hidden behind wistful smiles

Story

Still we stand in breathing light
Framed as we in white
Cold smooth stone where warmth once seeped
Beneath this alabaster keep
Should one, once, ever seek
Solace from this place

Enshrouded in marble hallways
Silent and strong we lay
Eternal as long as rock will care to stand
Upon this barren land
Where we once, hand in hand
Explored every niche

But the cities were fated to fall
Broken glass and shattered walls
Could not keep time from this beloved place
Wearing down each youthful face
Once framed with ribbons of lace
To etched pale shadows

Someday we too will eventually fall
Our grand halls pass to lore
And the rivers will wash our ashes clean
The trees add an emerald sheen
Where once glory could be seen
To indicated our lives here

你说的话，多么好听
说的感动，说的甜蜜
你说的每一句我都想性

为了爱情，付出努力
听你的话，闭上眼睛
这个梦多美丽，让它继续

你说的话总那么好听
你爱不爱我不能确定
也许你只把爱当游戏
我却爱得太用力
我却没那么聪明
----------------------------------------

Around and round.
You swing me around
Twenty four times
Every sunset, sunrise.

----------------------------------------

Telle est la vie

-----------------------------------------

Except this time.

Ich gehe zuerst
I'll go first
我先走

-----------------------------------------
Find me
Run.

Rant

You can't see her beauty like I do
So stop trying.
And I've tried so hard to make you realise that she's worth more that you'll ever have.

Show you the way?
You dont, shouldn't, wouldn't let me open your eyes.
You say you can see perfectly by youself
Evidently not.

Really, the little things give you away

Like how she would've told you how she wanted a gentleman
We both know you can't even be polite to save your own life
Save it.


Should I stand in her shoes...
If only, if only...

But somehow, it is you who makes her laugh, makes her cry
Though she seems to be doing the latter more often than ever.
Get away, GTFO! I want to, and will say this
If only you knew how much I meant it
You're not meant to break her
Not meant to mend her
Not meant to warm her
Or comfort her


...

And at the end of the day
Know this
She'll come back to me in tears that you've caused her to shed
Know that for every tear, how I long to shred you apart.
You said you were better
No, no, no.
Only blinder.
